Page Setting goals is key to your career success. That’s why the Sawyer Business School’s graduate programs integrate career planning with skill-building workshops and career guidance.

You as a Leader: Effective Career Planning

As a graduate student, you’ll take "You as a Leader: Effective Career Planning," a one-credit introductory course that helps you chart your future. Based on a self-assessment survey, you’ll develop a career plan that identifies the skills you need to achieve your goals.
